Finished the third season. Now trying to get a hold of "Voyage of the Damned" and "Time Crash," since apparently we must see them.
So, uh,
Captain Jack Harkness is the Face of Boe and that's about the only thing that made this episode emotionally bearable. It was painful. Emotionally painful.
Like, seriously, how can one man have so much shit happen to him, have so much go wrong in his life, lose absolutely everything and still, like, live?
Oh my God, someone, please go be his companion now. He tries so hard to be all nonchalant but Christ he's the loneliest person in the universe and he needs friends. Now.
The Master dying in his arms was almost too much. I've read up enough on the Master's history to know how much they mean to each other. Best enemies kind of thing. Never mind that they're the last two in the entire fucking universe.
Oh Doc. I'd go with you just to keep you company, never mind all the planets and civilizations and time travel. That'd just be a bonus.
God I sound like a psychotic fangirl. I'm not, really, but still. I have a thing for lonely, tortured characters.

It's called "living forever".
Lol! Well, after the Harry Potter reference in the Shakespeare episode, I wouldn't put it past them.

Okay, so then I suppose that him dying in New x1000 New York comes, chronologically, after the End of the World, that is, original Earth? But I that that was a million years in the future or some such.
Oh my god, I nearly died when Shakespeare shouted "Expelliarmus." Best fucking moment ever.

It was brilliant, but I also really liked the part where Shakespeare hit on the Doctor and he responded with something like, "50 academics just punched the air." That episode was very good.

Oh god I know. Brilliant.
